Help! New tires for GS450L

[extrakiwi]

Hi - hoping you guys can give me some help... I searched the forum but couldn't find any info on this. I've got a 1982 GS450L in need of new tires.

Current tires are Dunlop Gold Seal:
- front 100/90-19 57H
- rear 4.60-16 59S

Manual specifies:
- front tire size 90/90-19 52S
- rear tire size 120/90-16 63S

I was going to use Dunlop GT501 tires, but the smallest rear tire is 130/90B-16 and I don't see how it's going to clear the chain guard.

Any recommendations on a good replacement tire would be much appreciated.
Thanks...

I {myself} would stay with these Manual specifies:
- front tire size 90/90-19 52S
- rear tire size 120/90-16 63S.

I'd stick with the stock size also.
